This is correct. There are PCL-063 SOMs with eMMC or NAND. And each
PCL-063 can be a 6UL or 6ULL.

eMMC is connected via usdhc2. The usdhc2 pins conflict with the gpmi pins.

eMMC is on the PCL-063 and not on a carrier board.

AFAIK, the idea was to put the muxing for both flash devices in the
pcl063-som.dtsi and keep them disabled. eMMC or NAND will be then
enabled in a higher level carrier board dts file. The handling of the
SOM variant is designed by the carrier board dts file name, e.g.
imx6ul-phytec-segin-ff-rdk-nand.dts and in theory a
imx6ul-phytec-segin-ff-rdk-emmc.dts (Right now there is no 6UL eMMC SOM
variant, so you can not find it in our kernel repository).

I agree, that this does not describe the SOM hardware. This is just the
way we handle the SOM variants.

It seems the upstream situation for kernel and u-boot differs to what we
did quite a lot at the moment. I am just curious how you want to handle
this now. Unfortunately, we did no had the time to bring our 6UL boards
upstream and clarify the situation. But we can talk about it now and
find out a way to handle the variants properly.

CC'ed Stefan who is maintaining the imx6 boards at Phytec.

I hope this helps :)
